Kerry/Clare advice sought.

Negals in Doolin is very nice.
The road down is tight'ish for a unit your size but the coaches turn outside his gate so it is possible.

Good to hear you will get a deal.

It must be in the top ten best sites I have every stayed at. And that is a lot of sites.
Very well kept and amazing views.

When I first saw a photo of the site I thought the cliffs of Moher had been photoshopped in. I was amazed when I arrived that is was real.

Thanks so much for that suggestion. All suggestions on places not specified by me above are welcome too. I will take a look.

Which campsite did you stay at in Doolin?

Big difference between Doolin and Corrofin,when you went back what part of the world did you go back too

I don't think taylor meant any offence, he was just pointing out that there is a bit of distance between the two.

Ken would never mean to offend he is a pussy cat. Bless him and inquisitive pussy cat but a fluffy one all the same.
I hope you ask lots of questions , as a newbie I have found the guys and gals in here unbelievably helpful regardless how daft my questions or queries.

Thanks John for that information,at least we know what site to avoid in Doolin now

No need to avoid nagles as the site is 50 yards further on than the gate and when we were there last weekend we had no problem

There's also a new pier being built at the back of the ferry portacabins, so that all the boats can dock at the one time and also at low tide,


We didn't see any dust or disruption but it was the weekend when we were there and I cannot see it being a problem midweek either,

Looking forward to going back when the mackerel fishing starts

We stayed in Nangles in July no prob with noise plenty of places to park up at the back we stayed on No 62 had a great view similar to photo Mark has up I think it was taken from around that spot.
enjoy have a great time Sean

We've stayed in Wavecrest a few times. Its a lovely site. road out to it is quite narrow though.

Just spent a week doing just that:

Doolin (Nagles) - immaculate site, but its a significant walk from nearest pub, definitely not the few few minutes the descriptions would have you believe! Very few water points in main field - new annexe has water on every pitch. As for the remainder of the shops ie for groceries, - forget it! But still a great site, and beautifully kept.

Doonbeg:
Spent an hour getting there, from Doolin, - but it just couldnt compare! "Strand" - in Ireland implies a beach - none in Doonbeg! Sadly (as I know the owners are members) we turned round and left....

Tralee, Woodlands:
Wonderful in every respect.

Killarney, Flesk:
Run down, overpriced (€31)- had to try 3 elec hookups, to get one that worked! Water taps very scarce, as are grey water drains.
Facilities block is wonderful, nice hotel/pub adjacent, and fabulous Chinese next door.

Doonbeg

As the owner of Strand camping in Doonbeg I have to reply to this.

There are two campsites in Doonbeg, one in the centre of the village next to one of the pubs, this is a static site with 136 park homes and No touring facilities.
Then there is ours which is less than 10 minutes walk to the centre of the village. Ours is a very small site with 20 pitches and is only for touring campers, caravans, MHs and tents. I am hoping that the person who made the quote above went to the first campsite, I.e. Not our campsite. If you look on our website and see the aerial shot you'll see our campsite is opposite Doonbeg bay, Doonbeg river. White strand beach is about 3 km away and is a blue flag safe swimming beach. Alongside the trump international golf course is dough more beach which is 5km long and excellent for walking, surfing and windsurfing. This is angling and kayaking trips availing from the pier which is less than 10 minutes walk.

So please if anyone is passing, stop and have a look and see for your self what the campsite and Doonbeg has to offer.

Regards Jamie.

Thanks for your post above John.
We are trying hard to establish a good reputation for this campsite as it is very very different from the campsite we took over in march last year. I think in the main we are getting there. The reviews on trip advisor, Facebook and actual feedback from the users is very positive. That said we know we can improve in certain areas and we are trying hard to do so.
It does help that we use a mh and use campsites and wild camp ourselves, we have also personally tested all of our facilities to ensure that the meet user's needs.
We have listened to lots of feedback from our campers and in particular their views on campsites near us. Several seem to like the fact there is one price structure based on humans in the party, no dog fees, no extra charge for hot showers, kettle, awning etc. just a per person price and if required 16amp electric at €3. Our laundry is proving to be a big hit as are the special deals we run throughout the course of our season.
All we want is people to take a look, and judge for themselves. We won't suit everyone's needs for a campsite but we reckon that in the main the majority who stay will come back.

I agree Jon the beach immediately opposite the campsite is not one for spending the day with a picnic and sun beds more for walking and picking whelks and winkles. Yes it was the cliffs if Moher and the 12 pins on a really clear day.

Thanks your honour!

I have stayed at Strandcamping Doonbeg and found the facilitys excellent , spotlessly clean

We are at Doolin now. Just did the Cliffs boat tour and staying in the very large car park adjacent to the ticket offices. There are six other vans here, and public loos close by. Weather is fine, craic is mighty.
